Glyphosate and
Rising cancer rates in IOWA
Glyphosate: Natural News on 29 August 2024 shared this information on glyphosate Rising cancer rates in Iowa linked to agricultural chemicals like glyphosate, atrazine and chlorpyrifos
The article goes on to say:
Iowa is grappling with a stark and troubling reality: the state has recently been identified as having the fastest-growing cancer rates in the nation. This alarming increase in cancer rates has prompted a closer examination of environmental factors contributing to this troubling trend. A 2024 report by the Iowa Department of Public Health reveals that cancer rates in rural areas of the state, where pesticide use is more intensive, are significantly higher compared to urban regions. The study highlights that communities with heavy agricultural activity have seen a rise in cases of leukemia, lymphoma and breast cancer.

One of World’s Largest Dementia Clusters in Young
People May Be Tied to High Blood Levels of Glyphosate
Beyond Pesticides dated 3 September 2024 published this article One of World’s Largest Dementia Clusters in Young People May Be Tied to High Blood Levels of Glyphosate
A piercing investigative article in the August 14 New York Times by journalist Greg Donahue reveals the abandonment of a group of brain disease patients in an area of Canada with forestry management for paper products, agriculture, and large amounts of pesticide use, including glyphosate. It illustrates the tension in the relationship between government authorities, regulated industries, and neurologist (physician) on the front lines. The article details the manner in which health officials appeared to manipulate their own investigation of a disease cluster to make it less disruptive to the economy of the Canadian province of New Brunswick. (This Beyond Pesticides analysis, where not otherwise indicated, draws on Mr. Donahue’s article.)

Glyphosate and Coleorectoral Cancer
Childrens Health Defense dated dated 22 August 2019 published this article “Glyphosate and Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults”.
In Part I, “The Disturbing Increase in Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults,” we called attention to the steep rise in colorectal cancer incidence in young people in their twenties and thirties and discussed the risks associated with viral vaccines. In Part II, we discuss glyphosate as another plausible culprit in the colorectal cancer epidemic.
Glyphosate Fact Sheet
Stephanie Seneff Interview
Dr Mercola dated 4 August 2019 brings an Interview: Stephanie Seneff on glyphosate. His story at a glance:
- Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has been studying glyphosate for years and has become hooked on determining what makes this ubiquitous chemical so toxic
- One of the ways G. may be harmful is via disruption of glycine homeostasis; glycine is a very common amino acid your body uses to make proteins
- G. also inhibits the shikimate pathway, which is involved in the synthesis of the essential aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan
- G. also causes sulfate deficiency and impairs the heme pathway
- Eating organic, consuming organic, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, eating garlic and cruciferous vegetables, and glycine supplementation (or consuming organic bone broth) can help protect you from glyphosate toxicity
[Marilyn

Fatty Liver Disease - nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Dr Mercola dated 28 May 2019 published this article “Glyphosate Is Causing Fatty Liver Disease”. Here is his story at a glance:
- People with a more severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, had significantly higher residues of G. in their urine
- That exposure to G. may lead to more severe forms of liver disease is concerning, since those with NASH are at increased risk of liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and higher liver-related and non-liver-related mortality
- A number of animal studies have linked glyphosate to liver damage, including one that dates back to 1979, which showed the chemical could disrupt mitochondria in rat livers
- Researchers from King’s College London also showed an “ultra low dose” of glyphosate-based herbicides was damaging to the liver
- As more and more glyphosate has been sprayed on agricultural lands, parks and backyards, entering our food and water supplies, NAFLD rates have trended upward
Bill Gates “Impossible” burger tests 11 percent
higher in carcinogenic glyphosate!
GreenMedia dated 16 May 2019 published this article “GMO Impossible Burger Positive For Carcinogenic Glyphosate”.
wo days ago a Monsanto trial jury awarded the plaintiffs over $2 billion dollars, for the connection between the glyphosate-based herbicide, Roundup, and their cancer. Today, Moms Across America announces that the Impossible Burger* tested positive for glyphosate. The levels of glyphosate detected in the Impossible burger by Health Research Institute Laboratories were 11 X higher than the Beyond Meat Burger. The total result (glyphosate and it’s break down AMPA) was 11.3 ppb. Moms Across America also tested the Beyond Meat Burger and the results were 1 ppb.
“We are shocked to find that the Impossible Burger can have up to 11X higher levels of glyphosate residues than the Beyond Meat Burger according to these samples tested. This new product is being marketed as a solution for “healthy” eating, when in fact 11 ppb of glyphosate herbicide consumption can be highly dangerous. Only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate has been shown to destroy gut bacteria, which is where the stronghold of the immune system lies. I am gravely concerned that consumers are being misled to believe the Impossible Burger is healthy.” stated Zen Honeycutt, Executive Director of Moms Across America.
This is the same Bill Gates whose mission in life through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation wishes to see EVERY CHILD ON THE PLANET VACCINATED! His personal family physician spoke out and said the Gates children were NOT VACCINATED! Surely if he believed in what he is proposing his children would have been first in line! The physician’s link was removed! He is also shown on YouTube stating that vaccination will assist in reducing the world’s population!
It is also Bill Gate’s company, Microsoft, that built computers with “back doors” so that your computer can be accessed from outside sources whether it is turned on or off. They even have the ability to insert things into your computer and then someone finds it and you are charged with having this content on your computer!
In my opinion Bill is such a lovely man!!!!!!!
We should all be dancing in the streets!!!
Dr Mercola dated 3 April 2019 brings this fabulous news “Second Jury Trial Implicates Roundup in Lymphatic Cancer”. His story at a glance:
- March 19, 2019, a U.S. jury ruled Roundup was a substantial causative factor in the Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of Edwin Hardeman. In the second liability phase of the trial, jurors will decide whether Bayer/Monsanto acted with negligence and should pay damages
- Bayer stock plummeted by 12.5 percent, the largest intraday loss in 16 years, wiping out a cool $9.1 billion of the company’s value; since August 2018, Bayer’s shares have fallen by more than a third, wiping out about $28.2 billion of the company’s market value
- Glyphosate and glyphosate-based weed killer formulations have been linked to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, impaired protein production, mineral chelation, disrupted sulfate synthesis, microbiome disruption and more
- Recent research found that among children born of women with high exposure to glyphosate during pregnancy the rate of autism spectrum disorder with intellectual disability was 30 percent higher than among those born of mothers who lived further from highly-sprayed areas
- Scientists also warn glyphosate-based herbicides may be harming wildlife and insects at the bottom of the food chain. Glyphosate has also been identified as a driver of antibiotic resistance

Children’s breakfast cereals
NaturalNews365 dated 1 November 2018 published this article “100% of breakfast cereal tested POSITIVE for toxic chemicals from a popular weed killer”. Here is an excerpt:
A second round of testing from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has discovered a disturbing finding: 100% of the cereal for kids assessed in their study contained glyphosate, a toxic herbicide ingredient found in weed killers.
And of these kids’ cereals (including Quaker Chewy S’Mores, Very Berry Cheerios, and Quaker Instant Oatmeal Apple and Cinnamon), nearly 93% of them had glyphosate levels above EWG’s benchmark of 160 parts per billion – the maximum level they deem ‘reasonably safe’ for human consumption.
Australian
documentary
Dr Mercola dated 20 October 2018 published this article “The Monsanto Papers”. Here is Dr Mercola’s story at a glance followed by the Australian documentary.
- Between 1974 and 2014, glyphosate use increased more than 250fold in the U.S. Today, an estimated 300 million pounds are applied on U.S. farmland annually
- Evidence suggests Roundup is highly toxic, and evidence unearthed during legal discovery shows Monsanto has been well aware of its toxicity, and has been covering it up
- August 10, 2018, a jury ruled in favor of plaintiff Dewayne Johnson in a historic case against Monsanto. Johnson — the first of 9,000 pending legal cases — claimed Monsanto’s Roundup caused his Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Evidence presented in legal cases against Monsanto include email correspondence and corporate documents that create a comprehensive narrative of corporate malfeasance and collusion with U.S. regulatory agencies. These documents are known as “the Monsanto papers”
- Only 13 animal studies and half a dozen epidemiological studies have looked at G's carcinogenic potential, and the vast majority of those studies show a correlation between this and cancer
The Australian documentary, "The Monsanto Papers," reveals the secret tactics used by global chemical giant Monsanto (now owned by Bayer AG1,2), to protect its bestselling herbicide, Roundup.
The film starts out with a quick history of Roundup and how its now-clearly absurd safety claims (such as "it's biodegradable," "safe enough to drink," and "safer than table salt") made it into the worlds' most widely used weed killer, used by farmers and private gardeners alike. Indeed, it was at one time known as "the world's most trusted herbicide," but those days are now long gone.

Found
in vaccines
World Mercury Project dated 6 September 2018 has published a lengthy article entitled “Rounding Up Glyphosate: Toxicity Known Since the 80’s—So Why Weren’t We Protected?” This is a small excerpt from the article but clearly another reason not to have our children vaccinated!
“Human vaccines have also been shown to contain this. Moms Across America has reported levels as high as 2.6 parts per billion (as determined by independent testing laboratory, Microbe Inotech Laboratories, Inc., St. Louis, MO) in the MMR-II vaccine, with all other vaccines tested showing at least detectable levels of G. This isn’t unexpected, given that vaccines are manufactured using bovine and pork-based cell culture products derived from livestock that may have consumed grain-based feed with the allowable level of G. at 400 parts per million. Although G. levels in vaccines are up to 1000 times lower than that in food substances, one must consider that vaccines are directly injected into the body, meaning that 100% of the herbicide is directly absorbed into the recipient’s tissues. Additionally, vaccines contain other substances like adjuvants and surfactants which can hasten the uptake of glyphosate into cells.”

News – Brazilian Court suspends its use!
Activist Post dated 7 August 2018 published this article “Brazil Court Suspends Glyphosate; What About Doing That, EPA & FDA?”. Here is an excerpt:
The international news agency Reuters reported August 6, 2018,
A Brazilian judge has suspended the use of products containing the agrochemical glyphosate, a widely employed herbicide for soy and other crops in the country, according to legal filings.
Why would a judge in Brazil take such action, when regulatory officials in the USA think it is harmless? Probably because Monsanto and Bayer lobbyists can’t get near Brazilian judges?

Peculiarities of the autism gut
GreenMedia dated 7th June 2018 published this article “How Glyphosate Poisoning Explains the Peculiarities of the Autism Gut”. Here is an excerpt from this article and it is suggested that you read the article in full.
“Children with autism have a peculiar digestive system disorder, as was recently eloquently described by Dr. Arthur Krigsman at the AutismOne conference. How might glyphosate (Roundup) cause this?
In May of 2018 I had the opportunity to attend the AutismOne conference in Chicago, Illinois [1]. As in previous years, it was an exciting event where many experts, mostly alternative medicine practitioners, gave impassioned presentations offering their latest insights into various features of autism or biometrics linked to autism or treatment programs that they found to be beneficial. As in the past, I came away with increased optimism that we might finally solve the autism puzzle, along with many new leads on research topics that I needed to dig into more thoroughly, and renewed hope that autism can in fact be reversed.”

Dr Mercola dated 3 July 2018 published this article “Terminal Cancer Patient Who Sued Monsanto Gets His Day in Court.” Here is an excerpt from the article but make sure you Click the link and read the full article and listen to the YouTube.
- “In 2015, the IARC classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen based on limited evidence showing it can cause Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and lung cancer in humans, and convincing evidence linking it to cancer in animals
- Recent research by the respected Ramazzini Institute shows daily ingestion of glyphosate at the EPA’s acceptable daily dietary exposure level alters sexual development in rats, alters the intestinal microbiome, and has genotoxic effects
- Recent tests by the U.S. National Toxicology Program reveal the Roundup formula is far more toxic than glyphosate alone, and is lethal to human cells
- An estimated 4,000 individuals have filed lawsuits against Monsanto, claiming Roundup caused their Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The first cancer patient to get his day in court is Dewayne “Lee” Johnson, who used Roundup extensively in his work as a groundskeeper
- Bayer seems to be betting on its ability to rehabilitate Monsanto’s products’ reputation simply by ditching the Monsanto name, but worldwide, the fight against Monsanto is now turning toward Bayer as its successor”
FDA knew about Glyphosate in grocery items and did
nothing!
NewsTarget dated 4 May 2018 published this article “FDA finds G. weedkiller residues in nearly all grocery foods, but has spent years hiding test results from the public.” Here is an excerpt from this article:
“Now, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by The Guardian newspaper has uncovered documents confirming that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has quietly been testing food samples to check for G. residues but has not released its findings to the public. The Guardian notes that the agency has struggled to find any foods that have not been contaminated by this herbicide.”

Most foods sold in the US found to be contaminated
Dr Mercola on 15 May 2018 published this article “Toxic Weed Killer Found in Most Foods Sold in the US”. Make sure you read the full article and here is his story at a glance:
- “Between 1974 — the year G. entered the U.S. market — and 2014, G. use in the U.S. increased more than 250fold
- Few people had detectable levels of G. in their urine in 1993, but by 2016, 70 percent had detectable levels. Between 1993 and 2016, the G. levels in people’s bodies increased by 1,208 percent
- While both the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Pesticide Data Program and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) measure pesticide residues in foods, neither include glyphosate in their official testing
- Internal FDA emails reveal Roundup has been found in virtually all foods tested, including granola, oatmeal products, crackers and honey
- Independent testing has found significant amounts of glyphosate in a wide range of foods as well, including grains (especially oats), legumes, beans, orange juice, wine and ice cream “
Now known to be totally toxic
Organic Bytes on 10 May 2018 released this document “Totally Toxic”. The article goes on to say:
“Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller may be even worse for human health than we thought.
As reported this week in the Guardian, new tests show that when Roundup’s key active ingredient, glyphosate, is combined with other chemicals to create the final product, the herbicide is more toxic to human cells than glyphosate alone.”
Please take the time to read the full article. I have advised on previous occasions that the Codex Alimentarius Pesticide Committee advised that fulvic acid will assist in leaching glyphosate and Paraquat out of the body. I personally use four products that contain fulvic acid and have also purchased fulvic acid to spray around my vegetable garden and fruit trees. Eventually I will do all my flower beds and the lawn.

Shocking
statistics
NaturalHealth 365 dated 26 November 2017 provides this shocking news “G. levels sharply increase by 1,208% within the human body”. Here is an excerpt from this article:
“The environmental dangers of this in Roundup and other weed killer products have been well documented. Now new research, from a team led by Paul Mills of the University of California San Diego, has found it could be negatively affecting human health – especially in lower-income communities, as illustrated by the 1,208 percent increase in human glyphosate levels.”
On 6 June 2017 this article was published:
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans,” which is the second-highest classification for substances that can cause cancer. Glyphosate is the main ingredient of Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup. Source
Human exposure to Glyphosate
On 24 October 2017 UC San Diego Health issued this publication “Exposure to Glyphosate, Chemical Found in Weed Killers, Increased Over 23 Years” The article goes on to say:
“Analyzing samples from a prospective study, University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers found that human exposure to glyphosate, a chemical widely found in weed killers, has increased approximately 500 percent since the introduction of genetically modified crops.
“The data compares excretion levels of glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid in the human body over a 23-year time span, starting in 1993, just before the introduction of genetically modified crops into the United States,” said Paul J. Mills, PhD, UC San Diego School of Medicine professor of Family Medicine and Public Health and director of the Center of Excellence for Research and Training in Integrative Health. “
Please make sure you read the entire document as it is important information with regards to your health and in avoiding GMO products.
I have been reading for the past several years that when the blood of Americans was tested it was found to contain high levels of glyphosate and this included breast milk.
Dicamba wreaking havoc
Dr Mercola dated 29 August 2017 has published this story “New Dicamba Herbicide Wreaks Havoc Across the US”. His story at a glance:
“The rapid emergence of glyphosate-resistant superweeds has led to the development and use of even more toxic herbicides, including dicamba, which has been clearly linked to non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Dicamba is an extremely potent and volatile toxin that is banned during growing season. Monsanto’s new weed killer, XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology, designed for use with dicamba-resistant seeds, is supposed to be less prone to vaporization and drift
Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee are now investigating thousands of dicamba damage reports; an estimated 3.1 million acres have been damaged by dicamba drift this season”
Fulvic Acid Neutralizing Glyphosate and Paraquat

Then read this article published by GreenMedia on the recent Codex Alimentarius meeting held in April 2017 in Beijing, China regarding the pesticide residues. Here is an excerpt from this article:
“Fulvic Acid
As counterpoint to the carnage wreaked by pesticides worldwide, organic fulvic acids are created by soil-based micro-organisms to make minerals and other nutrients assimilable by plants. Importantly, fulvic acid can and will neutralize glyphosate and even the deadly pesticide Paraquat (12, 13).
Our soils are sick from greed-based, irresponsible agricultural practices, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, erosion, and mineral depletion, all of which stop or reduce adequate microbial activity in the soil, rendering them sick and/or dead and sterile. Sick soils make for sick plants and sick plants make for sick humans and animals. The addition of fulvic acid to our diets and our soils may provide both a stop-gap and medium-term solution to this pesticide plague.”

Buying science and promoting cancer
Dr Mercola on 12 April 2017 produced an article entitled “How Monsanto Buys Science and Promotes Cancer”. His story at a glance:
The global environment has been saturated with toxic chemicals and genetically modified seed, with glyphosate finding its way into the bodies of nearly 93 percent of Americans
As California takes a stand against glyphosate and American farmers are suing Monsanto for unlawful death after exposure, the company continues to buy supporters and hide the dangers of its flagship chemical
Although pervasive, you can reduce your toxic load by purchasing organic, washing produce, using natural cleaners and leaving your shoes at the door

Monsanto
patented this as an “antibiotic”
NaturalNews dated 22 March 2017 published an article entitled “Coincidence? Monsanto patented glyphosate as an “antibiotic” drug, claiming weed killer is medicine” The article goes on to say:
“In 2003, the corporate giant first submitted a patent for glyphosate as a parasitic control-type antimicrobial agent — or, in other words, a type of antibiotic.
The patent was granted in 2010, and you can view it here. Monsanto patented the combination of glyphosate and polyvalent anion oxalic acid as a method for preventing and treating pathogenic infections like malaria. As the patent explains, parasites from the phylum of Apicomplexa are often responsible for diseases in humans and other animals — and glyphosate is capable of inhibiting the growth of these parasites.
This patent certainly brings even more concerns about the impending Bayer-Monsanto merger, but more importantly, it raises a significant question: is glyphosate contributing to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria?”

Cancer warning on label likely to be upheld on
Roundup
Dr Mercola on 14 February 2017 advises:
“In March, 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), reclassified glyphosate as a "probable carcinogen" (Class 2A).1,2
The decision was based on "limited evidence" showing the weed killer can cause non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and lung cancer in humans, along with "convincing evidence" linking it to cancer in animals.
The IARC is considered the global gold standard for carcinogenicity studies, so its determination was of considerable importance. It's also one of the five research agencies from which the OEHHA — the California agency of environmental hazards — gets its reports to declare carcinogens under Prop 65.
Monsanto has vigorously pursued a retraction of the IARC's damning report,3 to prevent California from pursuing a cancer warning on Roundup and other, newer weed killers in the pipeline, designed for use on the company's latest genetically engineered (GE) crops.”
and the article goes on to say:
“ Roundup isn't the only weed killer that would have to bear the Prop 65 warning label. Glyphosate is also found in OrthoGroundclear, KleenUp, Aquamaster, Sharpshooter, StartUp ,Touchdown, Total Traxion, Vector and Vantage Plus Max II and others.”

Monsanto Lawsuits on Roundup
Activist Post dated 11 November 2016 has provided us with an update on the law firm undertaking class action with regards to people harmed.
The article goes on to say “When I (Catherine Frompovich) published the article, “Glyphosate Contaminates the Global Ecosystem: The Damning New PAN Report,” I mentioned a law firm as a resource because of the lawsuits it has filed on behalf of persons damaged by the use of Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup®. Roundup’s prime active ingredient is G., a chemical that the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer [IARC] designated a “probable human carcinogen.”
That law firm is Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman, Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, California. The firm’s Director of Public Relations and Marketing emailed a thank you for mentioning that lawsuit. Robin McCall’s email prompted me to want to know more about their clients and the lawsuits, so I asked her some questions about the firm’s case load.
Incidentally, there is a Spanish language link “Demanda Monsanto Roundup” for folks who may want to access the law firm’s information in that language.”
Conventional food
contaminated
Natural News dated 11 November 2016 provides the following information:
“Roundup weed killer contains 50 percent glyphosate, can be found contaminating most conventional food, including produce
Up until now, the only way you could truly avoid glyphosate consumption was to buy certified organic food, but thanks to Anresco Laboratories working in conjunction with The Detox Project, accurate and affordable glyphosate testing of food will be available to consumers. For all you science "geeks," their lab is ISO certified and uses the regulatory recognized LC/MS/MS method – which is the "gold standard" for regulators and scientists testing food contaminants (not just ISO "standards" or ELISA).
By the way, Anresco Laboratories has been around since the 1940s, and their food safety analyses span several genres of research, including pesticides, herbicides, microbiology and nutritional labeling, including testing imported foods, herbal products, soil and water. Their laboratory is independent, ISO-17025 accredited and FDA-registered.”

Monsanto
Dr Mercola on 23 July 2016 advises with his story at a glance:
- Monsanto’s products include saccharin, aspartame, Agent Orange, PCBs, DDT, Roundup (the active ingredient of which is G.) and herbicide-resistant genetically engineered seeds
- Since 1974, 1.8 million tons of G. have been applied to US fields; two-thirds of that volume has been sprayed in the last 10 years; 9.4 million tons of glyphosate was used worldwide
- Tests show 93 percent of Americans have detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine, at an average level of 3.096 parts per billion (ppb)
Listen to the YouTube and Click the link to read the article. You will hear talk of DDT. In recent times I have read that it is believed that the spraying of DDT may have been behind the massive polio outbreak.

NaturalNews dated 19 July 2016 brings good news on another country preventing the use of this toxic chemical. The article goes on to say:
“Leading by example,
Malta is poised to become the first European Union nation to enact a complete ban on the carcinogenic herbicide G., the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller.
The move towards a complete ban in the country comes on the heels of the
decision in June by the European Commission to grant an 18-month extension of
the license.”

Testing
back fired!
NaturalNews on 30 May 2016 provides the following interesting but to me very laughable actions on behalf of the Members of the European Union Parliament. It comes to the forefront every now and then that this person or that person has a vested interest in Monsanto or their like and that this colors the decisions that they make. Read what NaturalNews says by clicking this link and here is an excerpt from what they found.
“In a bid to show the public that there is no reason to be concerned about exposure to popular herbicide glyphosate – produced by Big Agri Giant Monsanto – Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) volunteered to take a urine test to see if glyphosate was in their systems. As reported by Reader Supported News, 48 MEPs from 13 different European Union countries participated in the test to see if they had been exposed to the cancer-linked weedkiller – and now the results are in.
According to the test results from the accredited Biocheck Laboratory in Germany, "all participants excreted glyphosate by urine." That's right – every single one.”
On Monday 6 June 2016 in Brussels the following is to be considered:
“To approve glyphosate, the Commission needs the approval of 16 European governments, representing at least 65% of the EU's population. Even states with a massive agrochemical industry like Germany can be moved by people power, but others may put the interests of the agrochemical industry above public safety concerns.”
IF YOU LIVE IN EUROPE – CONTACT YOUR GOVERNMENT AND SAY “NO” you don’t want them to approve the continued use of Glyphosate!
Grotesque Farm Animal Mutations
NaturalNews dated 24 May 2016 provides information on a story unfolding in Argentina on farm animal mutations being found. Click here to read the full article and view more pictures.
“Glyphosate weed killer, heavily used in conjunction with genetically modified crops, is being blamed for a sharp rise in grotesque, horrific animal mutations taking place in Argentina (see horrifying photos below).
While this story will never appear in the corporate-controlled U.S. media, the
UK-based Daily Mail reports that the mutations
"look like something from a horror movie - a black dog with a mini trunk
protruding from its nose. The baby yellow chick with not two but four feet, the
spider piglet with one head, two bodies and eight legs, the goat with two heads
and the baby pig with skin so wafer thin you can see the muscles and blood
flowing around its body."
"Farmers blame harsh chemical Glyphosate for causing the mutations,"
reports the Daily Mail, adding that "local media said that the deformation
was due to the use of pesticides on farmland in the region."

“Worldwide, G. contamination is rampant. Around 650,000 tons of the chemical, the primary ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup, were applied globally in 2011. Unsurprisingly, the widely used weed killer is in our water supplies, soil and conventionally grown crops. Now, thanks to independent testing, we're beginning to understand how G., a probable carcinogen, accumulates in people.”

Making plants more susceptible to pathogens from
the soil
- Just where does the harm stop?
- When is enough – enough?
- How can we shut Monsanto and its GMO’s down?
Research and learn about the harm and learn to avoid the foods that could or can be contaminated. Take action by soaking all your fresh produce in a product that may help to reduce toxic levels.
If we stop buying foods that we know are GMO modified then this affects the market. Retailers are not going to sell products that sit on their shelves and don’t move!
If the Retailers don’t purchase then this brings the profit down on Monsanto and hopefully puts them out of business.
We the people have the POWER to do this! We just have to exercise this power.

Drowning
in poisons
NaturalNews on 20 November 2015 produced an article where they are saying that we literally drowning in poisons created by our dear friend Monsanto. The article goes on to say:
“There's a really good reason why Monsanto is being called "the world's most evil corporation." Since 1901, some of its creations include the artificial sweetener saccharine, pesticides laced with dioxin, Agent Orange, aspartame (created by its partner, G.D. Searle) and the most toxic chemical on the planet – glyphosate. We are literally drowning in poisons because of Monsanto.”

EPA being forced to investigate
NaturalNews on 12 July 2015 in their article advise the following and I must say that this should have been done years ago and 2020 is too far away to learn the truth!
“In a historic settlement, the Environmental Protection Agency will be required to assess the negative effects of the herbicides atrazine and glyphosate. The Center for Biological Diversity led the charge. The EPA will now be required to investigate how these herbicides impact 1,500 different endangered species. In addition, the EPA will investigate the impacts of two other pesticides similar to atrazine – propazine and simazine. The assessments are to be completed by June 2020.”

Health Risks associated with GM foods and G
pesticide
Listen to Dr Michael Antoniou, Molecular biologist speak on 24 March 2015 in Sydney on this subject. He asks in the talk should we be worried and one of his slides tells us:
- “GM crops are produced through a procedure that is radically different from conventional plant breeding:
- Does not involve natural sexual reproduction methods.
- Allows transfer of one or few genes between totally unrelated organisms, employing artificial combinations of genetic material.
- Crosses species barriers to reproduction in ways that do not occur naturally.
- Produces combinations of genes that have not evolved to work together in a coordinated integrated whole.
- GM transformation process as a whole – transgene insertion plus tissue culture – is highly mutagenic.”

Kidney Disease
This page covers new information linking this to fatal kidney disease. It appears that when it becomes mixed with hard water or heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, calcium, magnesium, strontium and others that it may be the culprit in resulting in thousands of deaths from a new kidney disease.
Please read the story “Fatal Kidney Disease” and then click this link for an update.
Please refer to the article 20,000 deaths..
Fatal
Kidney Disease
Green Media on 25 February 2014 brings a most disturbing article on a fatal kidney disease which is causing thousands of people to die.
A new study “Glyphosate, Hard Water and Nephrotoxic Metals: Are they the Culprits Behind the Epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology in Sri Lanka?” In this research it has been hypothesized that “while glyphosate is toxic, it alone is not capable of destroying kidney tissue on the scale recently observed in rice paddy regions of Northern Sri Lanka, or in El Salvador where it is the second leading cause of death among men. They propose glyphosate becomes extremely toxic to the kidney when it mixes with 'hard' water or heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium, either naturally present in the soil or added externally through fertilizer inputs. Hard water contains 'metals,' such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and iron, along with carbonate, bicarbonate, sulphate and chlorides.
It is of interest to me that they say the reaction appears to occur with heavy metals such as arsenic and cadmium. Both of these heavy metals are believed to be contained in chemically toxic artificial fluoride compounds being added to public drinking water supplies here in Australia.
Question: What is happening to the Australian people who are ingesting these toxic chemical waste fluoride products when glyphosate from Monsanto’s Roundup gets involved?

Roundup and GM Corn
Dr Mercola on 5 May 2015 provides the “story at a glance” and a very disturbing YouTube. On 19 September 2012 the Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal in New York published the findings of the first ever long-term peer-reviewed food trial. It explored the long-term health impact of consuming GM Maize (NK603) and the world’s most popular herbicide, Roundup. The research was conducted by a team of scientists lead by molecular biologist Gilles-Eric Seralini and supported by the independent research organization, CRIIGEN.
- Glyphosate—the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup—has been reclassified as a Class 2 A “probable carcinogen.” Roundup has also been found to boost antibiotic resistance
- In response to growing public concern about the toxicity of G, US regulators may start testing for glyphosate residues on food in the near future
- The Organic Consumers Association, in cooperation with the Feed the World Project, has launched the world’s first glyphosate testing for the general public

International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
On 20 March 2015 IARC in their Monograph Volume 112 on the evaluation of five organophosphate insecticides and herbicides found:
- Glyphosate, malathion and diazinon were classified as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A)
- Tetrachlorvinphos and parathion were classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)
The report goes on to say:
G currently has the highest global production volume of all herbicides. The largest use worldwide is in agriculture. The agricultural use of G has increased sharply since the development of crops that have been genetically modified to make them resistant to G. G is also used in forestry, urban and home applications. G has been detected in the air during spraying, in water, and in food.

Neurological and gut
flora issues
NaturalNews dated 13 February 2015 provides the following information:
“Impact on pineal gland, gut health explained
Seneff, a research
scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her team examined
the role that both toxins play in affecting the pineal gland. They explain that
the pineal gland is very susceptible to environmental toxins and, when exposed
to them, is prone to a range of neurological diseases including autism,
Parkinson's disease and anxiety disorders.
Furthermore, they found that both glyphosate and aluminum work together in
ways that destroy healthy gut flora. The study, which was published in Agricultural Sciences, states,
"Glyphosate disrupts gut bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of Clostridium
difficile. Its toxic product, p-cresol, is linked to autism in both human and mouse models. p-Cresol enhances
uptake of aluminum via
transferrin."(2)”

Switzerland’s Story
GreenMedia on 25 December 2014 brings information on what has happened when Monsanto/Bayer's GM Plants Contaminate Europe Despite Ban’. Click this link to read the full article and below is an excerpt.
"In the European Union, GM OSR cultivation is presently prohibited and authorization for the import for food and feed processing is confined to the GM OSR events GT73 (Roundup Ready, Monsanto), MS8, RF3, MS8xRF3 and T45 (all traded as InVigor, Bayer CropScience)[11]. GM crop plants have found even less acceptance in Switzerland where currently neither the import nor the cultivation of GM OSR is allowed at least until the end of 2017 [12], [13]. Nevertheless, the spread of GM OSR cannot totally be prevented by cultivation or import bans. In Japan, where GM OSR is imported but not cultivated, feral glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant GM OSR plants have repeatedly been detected in port areas and along transportation routes [14]-[17]. The feral GM plants found most likely originated from imported transgenic seeds that were spilled during transport to oilseed processing facilities. Two countrywide studies from Switzerland have reported the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant GT73 OSR from four sites in 2011 and 2012 [18], [19]. The case of Switzerland is remarkable, because GM OSR has neither been cultivated nor imported into the country." [emphasis added]
Monsanto Again!
NaturalNews on 17 September 2014 provides information on how Monsanto developed plants that would continually require G to control the weeds. This is an excerpt:
“The truth is that G is blazing the pathway to modern-day disease by destroying both soil microbiology and human gut microbiology. Today, just about any food in the Western world's diet is tainted with residue of G. The microbiology of soil systems used for growing food are so depleted, destroying the natural nutrition levels of food.
How did this antibiotic-herbicide become so pervasive in the Western world? Some of the most intelligent and conniving business people in the world thought up a way to create perpetual agricultural need for the chemical. How did these masterminds force this? They began manipulating plant genomes in the lab to develop genetically modified crops that were to be specifically designed to be resistant to glyphosate. In this way, entire agricultural systems would have to accept glyphosate as a requirement to grow food.”

Did you know it stays on your food
Dr Mercola on 20 May 2014 brings the following information:
Recent research shows that genetically engineered (GE) soy contains high levels of glyphosate along with a poorer nutritional profile, leading the researchers to conclude that GE soy is NOT “substantially equivalent” to non-GE soy
On average, GE soy contained 11.9 parts per million (ppm) of glyphosate. The highest residue level found was 20.1 ppm. No residues of either kind were found in the conventional non-GE and organic varieties
Argentina has become one of the largest producers of GE soy and corn, and along with it, the country has experienced an explosion of miscarriages, fertility problems, and abnormal fetal development

20 thousand estimated deaths linked
On 8 April 2014 Dr Mercola brings more information on the 20,000 thousand estimated deaths from a chronic kidney disease. What astounds me about this report is that it is virtually the same information that was exposed by Green Media on 25 February 2014.
Why are we not hearing about this in the news and more importantly why isn’t something being done to stop Monsanto from using this pesticide!
The article goes on to say:
“a mysterious form of toxic nephropathy—striking down farmers in Sri Lanka, India, and Central America's Pacific coastline (El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica), has now been traced back to Roundup in combination with contaminated fertilizer.
As reported by Lanka Business Online1: “Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) first appeared in Sri Lanka's rice growing areas in the north central province in the 1990s and has been spreading into other areas including the South, with over 20,000 estimated deaths so far.” According to estimates by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some 20,000 American farm workers are also being poisoned on the job each year´

GMOs Harming the Brain
I believe that this is a very important article to be read and shared by everyone.
I am not going to go into a lot of detail here but this is just a brief excerpt from this article. Please click this link to read the full article.
“The summarization of their results, looking at the effects of both acute and chronic exposure, were reported as follows:
"Taken together, these results demonstrated that Roundup® might lead to excessive extracellular glutamate levels and consequently to glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat hippocampus."
The authors also pointed out that their study found maternal exposure to Roundup® resulted in the offspring being exposed to the herbicide because it crosses the placental barrier during gestation and/or it is passed to them through the breast milk. They caution:
"Exposure to environmental toxicants during pregnancy and suckling periods has the potential to affect embryo and fetal development."
Human and Animal
Samples
Green Media on 18 March 2014 provides information on a new study published in Environmental & Analytical Toxicology titled, "Detection of G.. in Animals and Humans," aimed to investigate residues in different biological samples from humans and animals, in order to gain insight into the modern day exposure situation.
It is important that you read and understand the implications of what the study has found particularly when it is becoming more and more difficult to avoid eating foods with glyphosate. We must all try and stop our governments for allowing Monsanto to use their roundup product containing this ingredient if we are to retain our health and to help heal our environment.
Sri Lanka
NaturalNews on 18 March 2014 advise that Sri Lanka bans glyphosate herbicide to protect its people from a kidney disease risk. It has been shown to be behind a growing kidney disease epidemic in agricultural workers in Central America.

Coral
Reef
Green Media Information on 30 January 2014 brings information on a new study "G... persistence in seawater," The article goes on to say:
“Australian marine researchers describe "increasing concern over the global loss of corals and seagrass and this has been particularly well documented for the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef (GBR)," pointing out that extensive agriculture activities impact water quality around reefs and seagrass beds, especially during the summer wet season from November to March, when rain-induced flooding delivers "runoff containing excess sediments, nutrients, and pesticides," and with satellite imagery reveals their associated plumes travel up to 50 km offshore as far as the midshelf coral reefs.
In order to ascertain the potential impact of G they quantified its biodegradation using "simulation" flask tests with native bacterial populations and coastal seawater from the Great Barrier Reef. They discovered that, "the half-life for glyphosate at 25°C in low-light was 47 days, extending to 267 days in the dark at 25°C and 315 days in the dark at 31°C, which is the longest persistence reported for this herbicide."

Dr Mercola posted this interview on 10 December 2011 and gives a brief summation of the entire article as follows. To read the full article click on the link below the YouTube to read what he has to say.
Dr. Don Huber, an agricultural scientist and expert in microbial ecology, has issued stern warnings about shockingly devastating effects of genetically engineered food crops after discovering a brand new organism in GE animal feed—an organism that has since been clearly linked to infertility and miscarriage in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and poultry
G., the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, and this new-to-science microbe are now linked to a new phenomenon referred to as “Sudden Death Syndrome” (SDS)
Herbicides and pesticides are metal chelators, which means they immobilize specific nutrients, rendering them unavailable to the plant and any animal or human who consumes that plant
The nutritional efficiency of genetically engineered (GE) plants is profoundly compromised. Micronutrients such as iron, manganese and zinc can be reduced by as much as 80-90 percent in GE plants “
Please pass this information on to your friends so that they too may understand the harm that this is causing.
